Biodegradable polymers have been widely used as scaffolding materials to regenerate new
tissues. To mimic natural extracellular matrix architecture, a novel highly porous structure …

Poly (l‐lactic acid) and its copolymers with d‐lactic and glycolic acid were used to fabricate
various porous biodegradable scaffolds suitable for tissue engineering and drug delivery …

The purpose of this work was to study the degradation of poly (lactide-co-glycolide)(PLG)
microspheres in vivo and in vitro. Degradation rate constants were determined by measuring …

Cell and matrix composites recently have been used to repair tendons and ligaments. In the
current study the authors briefly review prior studies in this area, and the contributions these …

Background: The purpose of the present study was to create an effective bone-graft
substitute for the treatment of a diaphyseal nonunion. Methods: A standardized nonunion …

Tetracycline-HCl (TCH)-loaded microspheres were prepared from poly (lactide-co-
glycolide)(PLGA) by spray drying. The drug was incorporated in the polymer matrix either in …

This article describes preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies comparing bulk and surface
hydrolysis in absorbable polymer scaffolds proposed for tissue engineering of bone. The two …

Severe infections are uncommon following orthopedic surgery, yet they can be frustrating for
